Garments made with lightweight GORE-TEX® Active fabric are extremely breathable combined with durable water and windproofness. The ideal solution for highly aerobic, done-in-a-day activities.

Garments made with GORE-TEX® Active fabric are durably waterproof, windproof and extremely breathable – the most breathable fabric in the GORE-TEX® product family. Meeting the intense aerobic demands of the alpine athlete, these fabrics are the ideal solution for highly aerobic done-in-a-day activities, even in bad weather. Garments made with GORE-TEX® Active fabric are lightweight and soft, with excellent next-to-skin comfort, thanks to reliable moisture management. The fabric’s construction keeps your body dry by reducing the accumulation of sweat so you stay cool during activity and warm during cool-down. With GORE-TEX® Active fabric, you can put the garment on, leave it on and focus on the experience rather than your clothing.

Unlike the 2-layer construction, this construction bonds the GORE-TEX® membrane to both the outer fabric and the inner lining. The benefit: no movement between the layers, which means less wear and tear, and enhanced durability.

With a 3-layer construction that includes GORE-TEX® membrane sandwiched between a soft outer material and a knit polyester backing material for added durability, these garments keep you comfortable and protected from the elements without adding extra bulk or weight.

Gloves engineered with GORE-TEX® inserts offer enduring weather protection and comfort with balanced heat transfer and optimum moisture management – even in harsh conditions. The result: your hands stay warmer when it's cold and drier when you perspire.

GORE-TEX inserts can have a 2-layer or a 3-layer construction consisting of the microporous GORE-TEX membrane combined with one or two protective non-woven fabrics. Both inserts are shaped like a glove and have adhesive seams. Both also feature special sewing tapes that are used to fix the insert with the outer fabric and the insulating inner lining of the protective glove.

TECHNICAL FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Wet hands become cold hands, and that can make tasks tricky and slow you down. Cold hands are often caused by moisture in the insulation—that's why all our gloves are guaranteed waterproof, so chilling water can't get in.
• When an icy wind rolls down the valley, or when you’re picking up speed down a black run, all GORE-TEX Gloves offer you windproof protection.
• Each of the billions of pores in the GORE-TEX membrane inside your gloves is bigger than water vapour molecules. So when you sweat, your gloves breathe it out. That means less water accumulation inside them, and greater comfort for you.
